COPENHAGEN GETS BRIDGE BY OLAFUR ELIASSON


Acclaimed for his atmospheric, experimental artworks, but perhaps less so for his widely discussed New York City Waterfalls project last year, artist Olafur Eliasson has now turned his talents to a more functional architectural endeavor: creating a bridge.
Cirkelbroen (the circle bridge) will cross the Christianshavns Kanal in Copenhagen, allowing pedestrians to walk around the city's entire inner harbor for the first time, but, true to the Danish-Icelandic artist's practice of challenging viewers' perceptions, will cut a winding rather than a straight path.
Wow!
